Math Problem Statement

Given the Venn diagram below with universal set U and sets A and B with their corresponding elements, what are the elements of A'?

Solution

The problem asks for the elements of AA' (the complement of set A) based on the given Venn diagram with the universal set UU, and sets AA and BB.

From the Venn diagram, the elements of each set are:

  • Set AA contains: {1,3,7,9}\{1, 3, 7, 9\}
  • Set BB contains: {5,6,7,8}\{5, 6, 7, 8\}
  • The universal set UU contains all the elements in both AA and BB, and possibly more outside: {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}

Finding AA' (the complement of set AA):

The complement AA' consists of all elements in the universal set UU that are not in set AA. So, we need to exclude the elements {1,3,7,9}\{1, 3, 7, 9\} from UU.

Thus, the elements of AA' are: A={2,4,5,6,8,10}A' = \{2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10\}

Comparing to the multiple-choice options:

  • The closest option is {2,4,6,8,10}\{2, 4, 6, 8, 10\}, which matches the elements of AA' excluding 5, since 5 is part of BB.

Hence, the correct answer is: {2,4,6,8,10}\boxed{\{2, 4, 6, 8, 10\}}
